Heads up folks.

Can't be there ;-( maybe you could/should ? https://t.co/kAU4r8zpKZ

Thanks for sharing this Pete, look forwards to the conversation and hope I can bring some value from my 20+ years in the field.

While we are here and in the same vein, here is an event the following evening that might help move thoughts/hearts/minds forw…https://t.co/jSM6Xskzr1

This week Elzware had a birthday, 21 years. That's a long time in the conversational AI/system marketplace to learn about how to do things right and to recognise what is a fashion, what is a fad and what is pure hype.

More power to your elbow(s). https://t.co/MQ8La855AK

@GaryMarcus @Elzware FYI

[Phil D Hall @phildhall]

This is interesting on the one hand technically and useful on the other side with a decent dollop of hype-cycle-busting-without-leaving-a-nasty-smear-on-the-walls. https://t.co/9JZwoYJjRU

[Phil D Hall @phildhall]

I'm not really focussed on this right now.

I thought that the abuse was already rampant, but the piece suggests otherwise. https://t.co/dvx2FWKs4R

[Phil D Hall @phildhall]

So where shall we start with this ?

So many low hanging fruit to discuss it deserves a feast all in its own right imho. https://t.co/YwSCEKVifQ

[Phil D Hall @phildhall]

This should be a spirited evening.

Do drop in if you can. https://t.co/0m3x2h7oGH

[Phil D Hall @phildhall]

Got a thing going on, on Friday here in Weston-super-Mare. We are giving the first public showing of our dev kit from Mycroft AI Inc which is loaded like a Delphic Oracle, from people by people.

explains a little; drop in to get a glimpse of the future. https://t.co/WbRqsptm3I

Heads up folks in London who might fancy a spirited presentation about chatbots and conversational AI tomorrow evening at 18:00 in Soho.

@thestudioinbath @pensez_fort @CRDrecords @Elzware It was such a joy to start opening up this box here. It's a seriously big endeavour for sure, but the first steps have been taken.

Thanks to @thestudioinbath for helping us along.

And the other folks in the showcase, total eclectic brilliance :-)

[Phil D Hall @phildhall]

If this rings any bells for you step on up/down.

The PM Studio is one of the most dynamic places/group-of-people you'll come across anywhere in the world. https://t.co/vd8DlhhWm4

Hi Folks - anyone with a few minutes to share please do take them to fill in this survey.

Sue Turner OBE is a rare person in this world of AI and Governance and I support her endeavours, it would be cool if you would follow my lead. https://t.co/5VbSrtNWkt

[Phil D Hall @phildhall]

No comment yet.

Busy building conversational AI systems based on transparent open source components wherever possible.
